For N.C. State it’s a tailspin to a season that started with so much hope but has careened off the rails with no end in sight. The Wolfpack has made the NCAA tournament 10 times in the previous 11 seasons under Avent but is in danger of missing both the NCAA and ACC tournaments.

The hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper for N.C. State’s baseball team.

Campbell added to the Wolfpack’s misery with a 9-0 rout on Tuesday night at Doak Field. Danny Pardo doubled, homered and drove in five runs for the Camels, who handed N.C. State its 16th loss in 23 games.

The Wolfpack (21-18), who went to the College World Series last season for the first time since 1968 and started this season ranked No. 5 in the country, suffered its second home shutout of the season. That hadn’t happened since 1976.
